CHAPTER XAT.
n a u mat niu air. I pr
f ry left his quarter, and
f Rtmlloil rait mi Ka a-alV
IriamJpS h bounded the parade.
-'L?7 H could ix 1T; he
x feTerishly iuiatient
tor the coining of another day, that he
might .tart forth on bis ride to Dunra
n. A "spin around the parade or out
on the starlit prairie might soothe his
nrrrca and enable him to sloop.
All light were out in the quadrangle.
Mve thorn at the guard house. Even at
Ikdknap'. quartf rs, where the reranda
had bten thronged with officers and Lv
dice only an hour before, a'.l was now si
lence and darkness. Unwilling to attract
attention by tramping up iin.l 0on on
the board walk, he crossed the ivid and
went out on the broad level of the pa
rade, but took care so to direct his steps
as not to come within hailing distance of
the guard liouw. It woul.i be awkward
work explaining the situation to the ser
geant of the guard in case the .entry
were ro see or near and challenge him.
He edged m-ell over to his left as he
walked, and so it happened tliat he found
himself, after a whilo, opposite the
northeast entrance to the post, and close
to the road on which stood the commis
sary and quartermaster storehouses.
There was a sentry posted here, t.v, and
it would n..t ili to l chaileng-d l.v him
any more than by "Number One,"'
Stopping a moment to listen for the
sentry', fivtfall. Perry's ear was at
tracted by the sound of a door slowlv
anj cautiously opened. It was some
little time lfore he could tell from
which one of the neighboring buildings,
looming there in the darkness, the sound
proceeded. Then he heard muffled foot
steps and a w hispered consultation not
far away, and hurrying on tiptoe in the
direction of the sound he presentl
caught sight of two or three shadowy
forms moving noiseledy along the
porch of the company quarters nearest
him. Stryker's troop, that to which he
belonged, was quartered down beyond
the guard house on the lower side of the
parade; these forms were issuing from
the barracks of Capt. Wayne's troop,
and before Perry could realize the fact
that they were out either in moccasins
or their stocking feet, and presumably
therefore on some unlawful enterprise,
they had disappeared around the corner
of the building. lie walked rapidly
thither, turned the corner and they were
nowhere in sight or hearing. Stopping
to listen did not help matters at all Ho
could not hear a sound, and as for the
shadows of w hich he wa la .ursuit.it
was simply impossible to tell which di
rection they had taken. They had vau
UheJ from the face of tho'earth and
were lost in the deeper gloom tliat hung
about the scattered array of wooden
buildings store houses, fuel kheds and
cook sneUs at the rear of the rost
Had it leen his own troop he could
nave rousea the hrst sergeant and order
eJ a "check" roll call a. a means of de
tenuinin at ouce who the night prowl
ers might he; but Capt Wayne had his
peculiariiies, and one of them wa. an
unalterable and deeply rooted objection
to any interference on the part of other
ouicxrs in ine management or liis men.
Perry's first thought, too, was of the sta
ble, and Sergt. Gwynne. Were they
meditating another foray, and had the
feeling spread outside their own com
pany? No time was to be hst. He turn
ed his face eastward to where the dark
outline, of the stables could lie dimly
traced against the 6ky, and hastened,
stumbling at times over stray tin cans
and other discarded rubbish, until he
crossed the interveninir swale and reach
ed the low bluff along which the crude.
ud paint-d structures were ranged. All
was darkness here towards the northern
end, and the one sentry who had exter
nal charge of the entire line was slowly
pacing his post; Perry could see his form,
dimly outlined, as he breasted the slope,
and it determined him to koep on in the
hollow until he got to a joint opposite
the stable, of bU own troop. If there
w" " T mm,uM u.kt b wall
to see whetlter this soldier, too, would
turn ont to be in league with the con
spirator.. Listening intently as be hur
ried a Ion?, but hearing nothing. Perry
soon found himself at the pathway lead
ing to his own domain, and the next
minute was gazing in surprise at a light
burning dimly in the window of the lit
tle room occupied by Sergt. Gwynne;
there was not a glimmer elsew here along
the line.
Striding up to the window, ho tapped
lightly, and C Wynne's voice sternly
challenged from within, "Who's there?"
"Lieut. Perry, sergeant. Come around
and open the stable door for me."
"One moment, sir," was the answer,
and he heard the sergeant bounding, ap
parently, off his bed. Then a hand drew
aside the shade, and Gwynne's face ap
peared at the w indow, w hile a small lan
tern was held so as to throw its ray. on
the face without, "All right, air," he
continued. "I thought I could not be
deceived in the voice,"
Perry walked around to the front again,
taking another survey of the sleeping
garrison aa he did so, and listening once
more for footsteps; hut all was rtilL
PreMMly the little panel in the big door
was unlocked from within, and the lieu
tenant bent low and entered, finding
Gwynne, lantern in hand, standing in hi.
uncompromising attitude of "attention"
at the entrance.
"Everything been quiet here to-night?"
he asked, a. he straightened up.
"Perfectly so, sir."
"Come into your room a moment; 1
want to speak to you," said Perry, after
a moment', reflection.
They passed along the broad gangway
between tb. row. of sleepy horses, some
lying down in their stalls, others still
afoot and munching at their hay. The
stable guard stood at his post and faced
theui a. they turned into the dark and
narrow passage leading into Gwynne'a
little sanctuary. The lamp, along the
line of Mall burned low and dim, and,
the ports being lowered, gave no gleam
without the walla. Once more, however,
a bright light shone from the window of
the stable sergeant' room brighter than
before, could they only know it, for this
time there waa no intervening shade.
After his brief inspection of the lieuten
ant's face, Uwynne had left it drawn.
The sergeant set his lantern on n
wooden dek, and respectfully waited
for his superior to apeak. Perry looked
him well over a moment, and then be
gan: "Did you tell Capt. Stryker the parrJo-
alan of your rough treatment down
then at the ranch? v
"T . rough treatment yea, air."
'oald you mind telling me where
you were taken? where you aaw Dr.
Quia "
Tb aergMnt hesitated one moment, a
troul led look on hi face. Hi one
avail ible eye studied hia lieutenant's
feat re attentively. Something In the
franl, kicd blue eye. possibly some
odd m recollection, too seemed to reas
sure lim.
"It waa to Mr. Cowan's little bouse,
sir. - He interposed to sara me from a
wore i beating at the hands of three
bruU i who wire employed there and had
some grudge against this garrison of
whio i I waa ignorant. They attacked
me w ithout a word of warning. It waa
be, o, who called in Dr. Quia."
"Have you did you see any of the
peep's at Dunraven besides this young
man!
"I w his mother, air. She is a nurse
there, and has been in the family for
yean, I am told."
Pet ry waa silent a moment Then be
spokt again:
"Hive you heard any furthrer threat
amor g the men her aiuce the arrest of
Serct Learvf
Gwynn. hesitated, coloring painfully:
"It Is something I hate to apeak of, air.
The alk has not alarmed me in the
lea.
"I now that, sergeant. All the same
w w uit to prevent a recurrence of that
perfo tnance, and it wa that, mainly,
that I rought me over here. I aaw some
men stealing out of M troop's quarter,
awhil ago. and lost them in the dark
ness. I thought they might be coming
over lie re, and got here first.
Gwynne's face lighted up. It touched
him o know his officer were on the
looko it for his safety.
"1 have heard nothing, sir. The men
woub hardly be apt to speak to me on
the si bject, since the affair of the other
night What I fear is simply this that
there is an element here iu the regiment
that i determined to get down there to
the ranch and have satisfaction for the
assau t that was made on you and your
party. They need horses in order to get
there and back between midnight and
reveil e, and are doubtless hatching some
plan. They failed here; now they may
try the stables of some other troop or the
quart -rmaster's. Shall I warn the sen
try t lat there are prowlers out to
night:" "N-t yet. They w ill hardly make the
attempt while your light is burning here.
What I'm concerned about just now is
this: A'e all know that there is deep
sympathy for Leary in the command,
and it is not improbable that among the
Irishmen there is corresponding feeling
again.-1 you. I don't like your being
here alone just now, for they know you
are a. most the onlv witness acainst
him."
"1 have thought of that, sir," answered
Gwyn ie, gravely, "but I want nothing
that l.oks lite protection. The captain
has sp.iken of tho matter to me, and lie
agree:, sir, that it w ould do more harm
than f ood. There is one thing I would
aV if I may trouble the lieutenant."
"W tat is it, sergeant?"
"I hive a little acket, containing some
pa pen- and a trinket or two, tliat 1 would
like vi ry much to have kept safely, and.
if an thing should happen to me, to
have you, sir. and Capt. Stryker open it.
and the letters there will explain every
thing t hat is to be done."
"Cet tainly. I will take care of it f or
you if not too valuable."
"I wauld rather know it was with vou,
sir. thi.n stow it in the quartermaster's
safe," was Gwynne's answer, a. he
opened a little wooden chest at the foot
of his bunk, and, after rummaging a
momei.t, drew forth a parcel tied and
sealeL This he handed to the lieutenant.
"No v I w ill go liack and notify the
officer of the guard of what I have
seen." raid Perry; "and I want Nolan,
saddle I. over at my quarters right after
mornii g stables. Will you see to itr
"I will. sir. and thank you for your
kindness."
All as darkness, all silence and peace
as rery retraced Ms eteps and went
back to the carrison. carrvini? the lirtlo
packet in hU hand. He went direct to
the CUi rd hotlSe. and found Mr Graham
sulky ever being disturbed in his snooze
iy (lie -sentry a cnaJieoge.
"Whu the devil are you owling
around this time of night for?" wa the
not unaatural question. "I thought it
was tne otlicer or the day. and nearly
broke ciy neck in hurrrine out here."
But Perry'a brief recital of the fact
that he had seen some men stealing out
of the c, uarters of M troop in their stock
ing feet or moccasins put an end to Gra
ham's complaints. Hastily summoning
the Serjeant of the guard, he started out
to make the rounds of his sentries, while
Perry c uried his packet home, locked it
in his iesk, and then returned to the
veranda to await development.
Sergt Gwynne, meantime, having
lighted his young officer to the stable
door, st-nxl there a few moments, look
ing over the silent garrison and listening
to the ri treating footsteps. The sentry
came peeing along the front of the sta
bles, am brought hi carbine down from

"I ha -e been moving around inside
but niade no noise. Have you heard

"Both, 1 thought; but it a as black as
your hat on this beat to-night I can t

"Keer your ears open, then; there are
men ou: from one of the quarters, at
least, an i no telling what they are upto.
Wbo'e i a charge at the quartermaster's

"Sergi. Keilly, of the infantry; some of

game with him before tattoo, and I

they had more money to lose. He and

"Well, look alive now. Wioaa It.

Ana win tins Sergt Uwynne turned
back ilitc the Stable, nicked nn hia
tern and returned to the little room in

air, blow ng in through the open case
ment, attracted his attention. Oddl He

Perry fi etted around the veranda until
1 o'clock, then .ought his room, He was
still too t scited to sleep, and it seemed
an intern: boable time before he dozed off.
Then it seamed aa though ha could not

In ten minute. Lieut. Perry and Sergt,
Gwyhn were riding neck and neck out
over the eastern prairie out toward
the paling orient stars and the faintly
gleaming aky before them, several
miles away, the dark and threatened
wall of Dunraven, behind them the
